[Ace Gunner]

I'll be there, hoping for a good game

[ChiTown]

HAVE to win this game tonight with BGJ on the mound. Hard to believe we are going to be able to get Verlander again, and we need to win a min of 2 of 3 this weekend to keep hope alive

[alnorth]

This is why I don't like the unbalanced schedule. It doesn't matter for the division, but for Wild Cards, we'd argue that we had to face Detroit's lineup more often, and the Yankees and Orioles would argue that the AL East might be better top to bottom, but there'd be no question if we all played the same schedule. You can't do that in the NFL, but you could easily do it or come close in baseball.

[ChiTown]

It's been said before, but this time really is, really, really, the last chance for this team. For real. Probably.

Well, they play 12 straight games against the Tigers and Indians, so something is bound to break open (either good or bad) in the next 2 series.

Rany and Soren were talking about that this morning, and I agree. He has to adjust and learn how to use the new helmet. It's just not good for him to take those head shots time after time with the old masks on.

Doesn't the AL East have a losing record against the AL Central? I know the Royals have a winning record over all the AL East teams and I think Detroit does too.

[alnorth]

The difficulty of jumping over this many teams for the 2nd Wild Card from this far back this late in the year probably means that we need to at least split Detroit and go 5-1 or 6-0 on the Indians to remain in the picture.

ROYALS
Royals’ Perez switches catcher’s masks after foul tip to the chin
September 6
BY BLAIR KERKHOFF
The Kansas City Star

Salvy Perez sported a new look Friday

He wore a catcher’s mask that the Royals hope will give him better protection. The switch was inspired by Thursday’s incident, a foul tip that Perez took off the chin.

It happened in the fifth inning of the Royals’ 7-6, 13-inning triumph over the Mariners, and after Perez delivered an RBI single in the bottom half of the inning, he left the game because of dizziness.

Perez was cleared by concussion tests to play against the Tigers on Friday, and he switched to a mask that better absorbs impact, one he used briefly earlier in the season.

“He’s had three or four balls off the side of the mask, and that’s no problem,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “It’s when he gets hit in the jaw, that’s causing the problem. The (mask) it was using just wasn’t working.”

Also, the Royals will position Perez closer to the plate.

“We’re going to scoot him up under the hitters a little closer, see if maybe he can dodge some foul balls that way,” Yost said.

Perez spent a week on the seven-day concussion list in early August after taking a foul tip off the mask.

Cain available to hit

Outfielder Lorenzo Cain wasn’t in the lineup, but he was available to hit for the first time in a month. He took early batting practice and declared himself fit.

“It felt pretty good,” Cain said. “The next step is to get on the field. I’m ready to go.”

Until he entered Thursday’s game as a defensive replacement in right field, Cain had missed 25 games because of a strained oblique. He’s having a terrific year defensively and entered Friday’s game hitting .261 with four home runs and 43 RBIs.

Gordon approaching century mark

Alex Gordon’s 17th home run of the season on Thursday gives him 99 for his Royals career. With one more he becomes the 13th Royals player with at least 100 home runs.

Getz out

Yost ruled second baseman Chris Getz out for Friday’s game. Getz left Tuesday’s game with the Mariners because of dizziness and stomach problems.

This day in Royals history

As the Royals continue to pile up stolen bases — they lead the majors with 130 entering Friday’s game — we recall the greatest base pilfering day by an individual in team history. On Sept. 7, 1971, Amos Otis set a club record with five stolen bases against the Milwaukee Brewers at Municipal Stadium.

[alnorth]

A big reason why the Royals aren't completely dead yet (though they probably wont make the playoffs) is the bullpen. KC's bullpen is the best in the AL, by a longshot, and its not even close. They have a 2.50 ERA this season, and the second-best bullpen in the AL is Texas with 3.02 ERA.

Kinda weird, I remember many years when the Royals relief pitchers were almost all awful.

[alnorth]

Top 1st

Jackson grounds out to shortstop
Hunter singles to right

Cabrera's numbers are just stupid.

[lewdog]

Cabrera's numbers are just stupid.

And he's been playing hurt like all year.

Sick.

[GloryDayz]

Yay team!

[Ceej]

That first inning bunt really worked out well.

[Dartgod]

Well, fuck.

[alnorth]

F'ing hell. That was a very, very risky throw to home, but it worked.

[DeezNutz]

I love sac bunts in the first inning in the AL. Always have.

[GloryDayz]

That first inning bunt really worked out well.

Best play in baseball don't cha noah.....

[Dartgod]

A better slide and Alex might have got under the tag.

[DeezNutz]

Butler sucks. And he's fat.

[Ceej]

Butler fatted one up the middle.

[GloryDayz]

Yay for Billy...

[Dartgod]

Belly!!

[Mr. Laz]

Fatty is my hero!!!!

[GloryDayz]

Butler fatted one up the middle.

By a slim margin...

This team thinks it is in the national league but you do what you gotta do to score.

I agree... he didn't get down fast enough. He might have been able to avoid it if he would have got down.

I missed it, how'd we score?

[-King-]

Hosmer stole second. Billy's single scored him.

I'm here too but, the crowd seems kind of flat to me.

[chiefsfan987]

Damnit James get a ******* out already.

[crossbow]

Royals need to start the next inning with a Getz leadoff bunt.

[Ceej]

Maybe the Royals bottom of the lineup will produce like Detroit's tonight.

LMAO

[petegz28]

well, that is probably the game

I got so pissed I turned it off already,is it just me or was Shields forced to throw down the middle,as far as i could see the ump wasn't giving him shit on the corners?

[Ceej]

I don't get it. Three pitches not close. Why even throw the guy a strike?

[Nzoner]

BTW North I'm a very superstitious guy, did you realize you're 1-5 in your last 6 when starting game threads? :#

I didn't want to say anything because he does such an outstanding job and has been one of the few of us who's here all year thick or thin. But his mojo has been pretty bad this year

[alnorth]

welp, I'm gonna shut it off for an hour or two, I'll be back later tonight.

[petegz28]

Has Detroit had any extra base hits at all tonight?

[alnorth]

I didn't want to say anything because he does such an outstanding job and has been one of the few of us who's here all year thick or thin. But his mojo has been pretty bad this year

I have noticed this too. I'm usually not superstitious, but it does get discouraging, outside of mojo, to always seem to start threads and update it a bunch of times for a loss.

On the flipside, for games that I have actually attended, I think the Royals have been like 5-1 this year. Every time I go to the K, they seem to win. Unfortunately, I live in DSM, so its hard for me to go to more than a few games a year.

[Sfeihc]

Nice pickoff by Moose and BGJ.

[shakesthecat]

I would like to add you do a fine job at updating and the like so don't take it personal,I was just pointing out a fact and believe me I'm a gambler and sometimes you just have to know when to fold 'em.

[DeezNutz]

Yeah, laugh it up you stupid motherfucker.

I think I'm 13-4 in games I've gone to. I have 5 left to go to including 4 in the final homestand. Hopefully my presence will help out

[GloryDayz]

10-1 (them) is a bad stat...

[MeatRock]

I can't understand why Mendoza still has a spot on this team. Wait...... i know why.
To make bad losses blowouts, that's why.

[stonedstooge]

Fielder hustle>Butler hustle

[Nzoner]

Just watching Yanks/BoSox on MLB Network and although this year has been way better for us Royals fans I fear we'll never see the likes of that great baseball(bases loaded for Sox 8-4 Yanks in NY and Napoli hits the grand slam to tie) without new ownership.

Sometimes I hate being born in this ****ing part of the country when it comes to loving sports. :(

[Toadkiller]

This one hurt.

[GloryDayz]

This one hurt.

No lube?

[stonedstooge]

Need to make a couple pitches here Luis

[MeatRock]

Mendoza can eat the lint from my taint.

[stonedstooge]

Royals love to visit

[Toadkiller]

No lube?

Really feels like it.

[MeatRock]

Walk the bases loaded and then almost give up a grand slam. If Mendoza isn't cut tomorrow then Yost has no fucking balls.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

First pitcher since 1916 to give up 14 hits and not make it out of the 4th. That's a shitload of statistical correction in one game.

[GloryDayz]

Really feels like it.

Well, they just added another fist!

Being in the top 4 for innings pitched the last 3 years PLUS this year isn't a promising record either

Can a brotha get a score update?

18 hits by the Tigers SO FAR. Crazy. There's only been a few games our pitching staff hasn't kept us in. The pitching staff has been simply fucking amazing this year

[stonedstooge]

13-1

[tk13]

Can a brotha get a score update?

You don't want one. Let's just say I hope the Chiefs give up less points on Sunday.

[Sfeihc]

It's only one game. Last game the Tigers played Boston rocked 'em for 20 runs. I sure hope KC doesn't give up more than 20 to the Jagoffs.

Yes sir it will. Which means another season to watch Yost mismanage the bull pen and an almost guarantee that we trot out the same non-clutch lineup, hanging our hats on the hope that Moose, Gordon, and Hosmer can put together a whole season where they play at the level they are expected to. And to watch our overpaid, overweight DH hit 15 HR's when the bases are empty. Oh yeah, and another year of Wade Davis and Luis Mendoza in our starting rotation after we lose Santana.

I think it was the 2nd inning when on the telecast Ryan made a comment about after the 4th inning James would be at 200 innings.I swear when he said that my first thought was oh shit he's not going to last that long now.

Good thing we only have two solid weeks of Detroit and Cleveland.

I'm sure they'll add more shiny objects to the outfield pavilion. Maybe a tilt a whirl with lots of chrome and glitter and flashing lights. Oh, and don't forget to buy your tickets for "A's Appreciation Weekend." We do so wish we could be the Oakland A's. We just need to show our love and respect for them when they come in and sweep us.....
